I didn't know Steve was already making that announcement. Here I thought I was special. Lol.

I only posted it because it's on their myspace. If it falls through it's not my fault

By the way, I didn't mean to include Steve in the DFA...Mike only.

You have your own special way

Nonetheless it's not official. In fact both aren't. The announcements can't go up on the website until the contracts are finalized. I'm not angry or anything. It's way beyond me. I'm just a messenger. But the thing is if people make plans to go based on just the announcement of those two bands(especially DFA) and for some reason the contracts don't go through then PD gets blamed for it. There are implications. It is highly unlikely but still possible. I think the PD team was just anxious to get the word out and saw NF as a prime opportunity to get more people interested even if it was a tad premature. That said I totally understand the risk involved.

Rick, I'm not blaming you or anyone else. It's not really anyone's fault. As far as I'm concerned it's all just a technicality anyway. Being that DFA has it up on their myspace page I guess that means they really want to play. I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. At least I'm hoping. Bands have cancelled at the last minute in the past but that can and has happened after band's have been officially announced and not just PD either(FK at RF comes to mind).

ok:

To anyone - You will not need to make any plans for Progday anytime soon. You can wait until August like I did last year.

Mirthandir was announced by them, just like NF always announces a band a year in advance, and like Rosfest does. Bands cancel all the time (like Yes did this year).

No one's getting their hopes up, Mike, and frankly, I don't think anyone really cares, and no one is going to blame Progday. Or no one in their right mind.
